A snuff spoon is a tiny spoon used for nasal insufflation of powdered substances. In ancient times, snuff spoons were used to ingest psychotropic substances, in the 18th century they were used for tobacco, and in the 20th century, they were used for cocaine. These spoons are so small that they are frequently mistaken for toy spoons. The designs of the snuff spoons closely followed that of the larger ones, and thus can be used to date the étuis containing them. Snuff spoons have a very long history, and archeologists found them in various parts of the world, including Peru and South Africa. In England, powdered snuff appeared at the end of the 17th century, and quickly became popular along with the devices for its consumption. By the end of the 19th century, snuff spoons went completely out of use.

Today, snuff spoons are sometimes used as drug paraphernalia, and some local statutes in the US treat them as such. However, they can also be used for other purposes, such as measuring small amounts of medicine or spices. Snuff spoons can be made of various materials, including zinc alloy and bone.
